The Role of the Icch in the Clearing of Futures and Options Exchanges

The International Commodities Clearing House (icch) has been providing futures markets in London with clearing and guaranteeing services since its formulation as the London Produce Clearing House Limited in 1888. Sugar and coffee were the first two commodities to use the Company's clearing services after 1888, and the Cocoa trade followed in 1928, with the opening of the London Market.
